The main bus station
-3.75757
-38.5306
Reed Krakoff SnakeskinTrimmed Platform Sandals The Cheapest For Sale Mwsr2
(Telephone

3230-1111) has buses to most all of the country, often via connections.
Expresso Guanabara
has the most extensive network from here, and also sells tickets near Beira Mar:
Loc Autos
, Av. Abolição 1840 and
Bem Estar Tur
, Rua Tabajaras 580. Note that most lines
within the state
of Ceará have their last coach leaving around 6-7PM. Buses to neighbouring towns, within some 100 km, often leave from the train station in the centre. Tucked into a corner of the terminal are the booths of the "cooperativas alternativas", which operate vans to many nearby destinations, including
Canoa Quebrada
. They may be slightly faster and cheaper than the regular buses, but also less spacious and no advance bookings accepted.

Taxi to
Beira Mar
is about R$ 15 and 15–20 minutes. The bus
099 Siqueira - Mucuripe / Barão de Studart
(on Sundays this line is substituted by
078 Siqueira - Mucuripe
, bus stop around the corner) will take you the same place in around 30 minutes,right from the doorstep of the bus station! If you are heading for
Praia de Iracema
(or anywhere else west of
Av. Barão de Studart
), take two lefts from the bus station's main entrance, then cross the street, and take the bus
073 Siqueira - Praia de Iracema
. The bus
404 Aeroporto - Benfica
takes you to the
airport
in less than 15 minutes.

A third bus station,
-3.83115
-38.50037
Rodoviária de Messejena
is in the southern suburb of
Messejana
(next to the urban bus terminal with the same name), and has lines by the companies
São Benedito
(for
Canoa
),
Fretcar
and
Expresso Guanabara
mostly en route between the main bus terminal and the southern and eastern parts of Ceará.

Fortaleza is connected to the rest of Brazil by Federal Highways BR-116, BR-222, BR-020 and BR-304 plus State Highways CE-040 and CE-085. Driving in Fortaleza itself is not recommended, as the streets are mostly in a very bad shape.

Most tourists will not go more than 5 blocks from the sea, except for the airport and bus station, and perhaps a shopping mall. The following main streets will take you from the city centre to the fish market, by way of
Dragão do Mar
and the
beaches
Iracema
and
Meireles
, totalling some 6km:
Avenida Almirante Barroso
,
Av. Beira Mar
(until
Rua Ildefonso Albano
, where it's cut off by an artificial beach -the
aterro
.),
Av. Historiador Raimundo Girão
,
Av. Beira Mar
(from
Av. Rui Barbosa
). This last three km section of
Beira Mar
(literally
Sea Side
) is by far
the most attractive
part of the city, with police stands and patrols making it fairly safe around the clock, although rather deserted from midnight to dawn. The
Avenida Beira Mar
with its broad pavement stops at the fish market. From here to the beach of
Praia do Futuro
is the port area, backed by a refinery and slums. Walking here at daytime can be risky; at night, it's asking for trouble.

If you+ stood by, the side of the pearly gates and would look towards the centre of heaven, you would see a strange spectacle; strange to your earthy vision. Is it not strange that millions of saints and the four beasts as well as millions of angels are singing in beauteous melody about a slain lambkin? On earth we read that the foremost of God's saints had determined to know nothing but the Cross of Jesus. But it seems as if that Cross will be the sum total of adoration in heaven also. We read that a throne was set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. And He that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne like unto an emerald. I would say, that there we have a beautiful picture. It would be worth our while to see it. But a bleeding lambkin, its woolly fleece painted red because of the cruelly slashed throat! How passing strange it seems to us that the throngs would sing and sing again, repeating in every chorus: Oh Lambkin: Thou art worthy to receive blessing, honor, glory, power. I glean the strange vision from the Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto Him, to show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John. You may read of it in
Rev. 5:6
. That is, a portion of the test. And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne . . . . . stood a Lamb, as it had been slain . . . . It is not even a lamb, for the original calls it a lambkin; in the Greek it says: "een lammetje." Let us visualize it if we can. Suppose you saw a little lamb with its throat cut: The blood has saturated its crinkly woolen fleece. The wound is open, showing its cruel slashing. And there it stands. Are you going to sing? They do in heaven. Why not you? I seem to see a look of pity on your face. Why, we would almost weep when viewing such a picture. Is it possible to paint a picture that will portray in more poignant lines very, injured innocence? Yes, we can imagine that you would weep, but sing? Nay, it seems more than strange: it seems an abnormality. Yes, the mind that is of the earth earthy will weep about that slain Lambkin; while the heavenly minded will sing because of it as the day is long. "Weep not for me, ye daughters of Jerusalem!" And why not? Because that slain Lamb is God revealed in the flesh; because it is Immanuel, Jesus Christ the Savior. He is not the object of pity but the fitting object of admiration, of wonder, of adoration. It is the strong Arm of the Lord. The Apostle John saw this little lamb in the heavens but he had also seen Him on earth, bleeding out of many wounds. "As it had been slain" is the heavenly echo of earthly Calvary, the accursed tree, where Jesus bled and poured out His soul unto death. It is the heavenly culmination of the deep way of sorrows that John views when standing as it were by the side of the pearly gates. No longer is the fiery red on the woolen fleece a token of present suffering. From then on it Gill be the token of honor, power, but also adoration. For in it we see somewhat of the unutterable love of God and His manifold wisdom. The Lambkin stood in the midst of the throne. That tells me that He is God. For the throne John speaks of is the throne of God. And properly no one can be in the midst of it than very God Himself. That truth was evident even on earth. Standing on two feet with two arms, that is while in the likeness of men; I hear Thomas pray: My Lord and my God! That Lamb is God revealed in the flesh. And that God-man had come through the way of terror such as no man or angel shall ever taste. He stood as slain. All the fiery darts of the devil and devils were aimed at Him and these darts had found their mark. All the taunts and jibes of puffed up humanity were and had been His lot: and He bowed the head: received them all. All the burden of the wrath of God pressed Him down to the very bottom of hell and standing, nay, crawling there in the dust of death, He said: I love Thee so, My only Father! "As it had been slain." But in the midst of the throne. Because He humbled Himself He was highly exalted. And according to His Divinity He belonged in that throne. In the very midst of it. Secondly, He is in the midst of the throne. It tells me that the whole program of untold and eternal sufferings of that woolly Lamb were through God, to be praised forever. No, my brother, do notto stare at weak Pilate, pompous Herod, raving Pharisee and wildly seething mobs of Jews. For they all are the agents, even though willing agents, agents still of the Triune God who counseled. "For of a truth against Thy holy Child Jesus, Whom Thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together, for to do whatsoever Thy hand and Thy counsel determined before to be done." The Lambkin stood in the midst of the throne. It stood there also as to its idea while the howling mob cried into the ears .of Pilate: Crucify Him, crucify Him! For by His hand and by His counsel the things happened. It is the threading forth of that counsel which you saw in anno 33 or 34. And the Lamb was fully conscious of it. "Weep not, that is, weep not for Me, oh, ye daughters of Jerusalem! Because of Me in My suffering, the angels have sung in the fields, of Bethlehem. At last they have understood the wonder of the mercy seat. Peace on earth toward men of eternal goodwill! Weep not! And if you are to weep at all: weep for yourselves. For ye are sinners. I am in the midst of the throne, standing as I had been slain. I am a Divine wonder of love and goodness. So lovable and so good that throngs such as cannot be numbered shall sing and play eternally: Oh Lamb, Thou art worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, blessing. (

) When Jesus cried out: Why, O why forsakest Thou Me, My Father? then the Father must have said: I slay Thee, My Lamb, because I will glorify Myself in the throng of redeemed children. I forsake Thee, in order that I may draw nigh to Thine own; sheep. Indeed; the Lamb is in the midst of the throne. Thirdly, it is in the midst of the throne. That is, it is in the very heart and the mind of God. Now we know that the throne was set in heaven and we also know that God sag on that throne. But God, Triune God, cannot be comprehended in the heaven of heavens. Properly speaking, God cannot even dwell in the heavens that shall be born again. For He inhabiteth eternity. Our Father had this slain Lamb with Him even in eternity. It is the mind and the kill and the heart of the Father to so reveal Himself as John saw it on Patmos. That Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world. Always, yes, always even in the wakes of that still eternity before the mountains were brought forth or ever the fountains were heavy with water, did God delight in that slain Lambkin. For He is also the very Wisdom of God. When God counseled (and when was this?) He counseled the best and the most glorious Way to reveal Himself unto sons and daughters. God knows that He is lovable and good. But He wished not reveal it unto sons. Adam did know that God was good, the very songs of created things told him so. His own heart thrilled to the Divine touch of love and loving-kindness. But Adam did not stand by the side of the pearly gates to view the Lambkin as it had been slain. Oh, for God so loved the world . . . . The Lamb is in the midst of the throne with all His wounds and all His blood. It is a revelation of love that will be the cause of rapturous singing. The bleeding Lamb tells me how lovable and how good God is. Imagine the throng of the sons and daughters of God as they have become through sin and guilt. They are all ugly, all filthy: abominable things are in their vessels. Speak to them of God, nay, I warn you, do it not: they will rend you. They have become enemies of God. Is that God revealed to them, I mean to the elect as they are born in sin and deceit, if they may see God in the works of His hands or in the Holy Scriptures, then they will go to the trouble to send messengers to Him and say: Depart from us, for in the knowledge of Thy ways we have no pleasure. If God persists and shows Himself in the garb of a weak and defenseless man, they will turn out of their way and crucify Him. And in the midst of the roaring, cursing, blaspheming throng of the elect, God says in the Lord Jesus: Father, forgive them for they know not what they do! Can you grasp such love? And yet they do not listen. So, against their will, He regenerates them, and pours His love and loving-kindness in their hearts so that they by irresistible grace begin to weep because of their filth and crookedness. Then they receive eyes to see the bleeding Lamb and they begin to see that He bled for their sin and guilt. And behind the Cross; beyond the hill of Golgotha they behold the Love of God. And they begin to sing, with tremulous lips: "Unchanging is the love of God!" He loved us even while we were yet sinners. Christ died in that sense for the ungodly. And He did so as the realization of the Divine Idea of the bleeding Lambkin. For He stood in the midst of the throne as He had been slain. Finally, He is in the midst of the throne. That is, eternity shall never end. So that He shall continue to stand there. Always, oh always, we shall be able to sing and singing we shall ask: Why are Thy robes so spotted with the fiery color of blood? And singing the Lamb will answer: I am the bleeding heart of love of the Father. Alone, all alone I have trodden the winepress. Alone I went down, ever downward in the pit that burneth of fire and brimstone. For there you were, My sons and My daughters. And coming there in your captivity I gathered you in eternal arms. Underneath are the everlasting arms. Is it then a wonder that the arms of Jesus are very safety? But doing it I gave my blood. It is the good pleasure of My Father to shed My blood for all of you and you and you. And His loving eyes will see you. Although, there are millions, He will know every one of us. And when all is said and done the elders will fall down before the throne of God and while the four beasts say: Amen, they shall worship Him that sits upon the throne and Hem holds in His bosom the bleeding Lamb. If you stood by the side of the pearly gates you would see a lovely and glorious spectacle in the center of the heavens. You would see a throne and He that sits upon it. And seeing Him you would see the eternal version of Golgotha. And, no, you will no longer pity the Lambkin whose woolly fleece is red. I notice that your lips open to the song that is born in your heart. And as the beasts and the elders and the angels vie in heavenly song, you will vie with them. Herein you agree with them: no honor or majesty is too high for such love. And we that are on the earth? We are privileged to cast a shadow of that Calvary in the midst of a pack of ravening wolves. When we are cursed we will bless; when we are revile again, we will do good unto them that despitefully use us. Doing it we shall be bearers of the eternal idea of the Suffering Lambkin. —G.V.

"And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain . . . ."

Really liked this piece, and that it led me to discover my own battered Princess Pamela book at a used shop. I hope this award, and awards by other 52 contributors and subjects, influences the content we'll see in the future.

After the James Beard announcement, I happily read this article and then, as someone who is interested in genealogy, I looked up Pamela. I think Mayukh Sen has a few of the early dates wrong. From just doing a brief hunt around the internet, I was able to find the death certificates of both Addie and Rosella: Addie died in 1934, and Rosella died in 1939 (5 years after her mother). Rosella was one of many children, and shortly after she died, Pamela went to live with Rosella's brother Willie and his wife, in 1940. From my digging around I believe that Pamela's real name is Addie as she would have been 12 in 1940, which lines up with the rest of her life's story. She had one sister, maybe two, that of Anna(ie) Belle and Mary. Anna Belle also came and lived with their uncle Willie after their mother died. From the looks of it I think Pamela did have close family that she left behind when she left Spartanburg.

I was lucky enough to get to go to her upstairs restaurant several times in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Someone had told me about the place. We went and there was a small sign on the side of the building on the second floor that just said “Pamela” We rang the bell and the Princess stuck her head out of the window and yelled “whatchu want?” We called that up that we would like to have dinner and she buzzed us up. We had a magical night. Ada told that she had chicken and pork chops both in “sauce beautiful” the food was delicious and the Princess sat with us at our table the whole time and we talked about food and her and the famous people who came to the restaurant. I went several times. Pamela always sat down with us to chat. And yes, if you went to the bathroom Ada would follow you and wait outside the door until you came out. I lost track after that and never even knew that she had moved to Houston street. It has always been a good story that i have enjoyed telling.
